Subject: bug#8764: 24.0.50; cedet/semantic/bovine/c-by.el:184:1:Error: Lisp nesting exceeds `max-lisp-eval-depth'

The problem isn't within the running Emacs process, rather it's with the
build process for trunk.

Based on a latest "bzr pull" of trunk, the build fails thus:

make[2]: Entering directory `/opt/emacs/trunk/lisp'
Compiling cedet/semantic/bovine/c-by.el

In toplevel form:
cedet/semantic/bovine/c-by.el:184:1:Error: Lisp nesting exceeds `max-lisp-eval-depth'
make[2]: *** [cedet/semantic/bovine/c-by.elc] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/opt/emacs/trunk/lisp'
make[1]: *** [compile-main] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/emacs/trunk/lisp'
make: *** [lisp] Error 2

At line 184, this file is defining the following object:

(defconst semantic-c-by--parse-table
....

I'm not sure where to proceed from here.  The default value is 600; I
don't know if fiddling that higher would actually help.
